Barrett Alley




Handmade in Texas, Barrett Alley's products are made using time honored materials and methods. Hand-cut and hand-sewn saddle stitching create unique and highly durable products. Vegetable-tanned cowhide, deerskin, and goatskin paired with antique German, American, and Japanese fabrics, with some dating to the 19th century, result in limited supply (and ultimately high price points; you pay dearly for the quality and rarity here). The commitment to craftsmanship and the conscious consumerism, a theme on this blog, make taking note of this operation worthwhile.
